Clos FLORIDÈNE
Dry white
- 2021
- Graves dry white
The star of Graves blancs, offering each vintage a very pure and straightforward wine, discreetly woody. It is not surprising to see this regularity in performance, as it is the own property of Florence & Denis Dubourdieu, hence the name of the wine.
The 2021 vintage is rated 90-92/100 by Neal Martin " Clos Floridène white 2021 offers an attractive, well-defined and utterly floral bouquet of bright citrus fruits complemented by white flowers. The palate is very well balanced, with excellent distinction and good tension. A tangy hint of lemon lends energy to the finish. Quite simply a delicious dry white Bordeaux." (April 2022)
Rated 91/100 by La Revue du Vin de France " Le cru de la famille Dubourdieu garde avec brio le cap de l'identité stylistique de son vin blanc, mi-sémillon mi-sauvignon, toujours sobre, droit, pur, distingué, apte à la garde. Un modèle respecté et une valeur sûre dans l'univers mouvant des blancs secs bordelais. " (December 2022)
Rated 90/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin "Delicate on the entry, silky to the touch, the wine melts all the way down the palate, greedy, elongated, subtle in its flavors and fragrances. Very tasty." (May 2022).

Dubourdieu estate, perfect expression of Sauvignon Blanc (100%), between aromatic freshness (citrus fruits...), vivacity and beautiful serene length. A model for all dry white Bordeaux wines!

Rated 90/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin « Délicat en entrée de bouche, minutieux dans son toucher au milieu, fondant et subtil, le vin glisse en finale, long et sèveux, sur une saveur très chic de mandarine. Impossible à cracher » (Février 2022)

Rated 91/100 by La Revue du Vin de France "The Dubourdieu family vineyard brilliantly maintains the stylistic identity of its white wine, half Semillon, half Sauvignon, always sober, straightforward, pure, distinguished and suitable for laying down. A respected model and a sure bet in the ever-changing world of Bordeaux dry whites". (December 2022)

Rated 90/100 by Neal Martin « The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity and a judicious sprinkle of black pepper on the finish. This consistent performer just goes and produces (yet another) delicious Graves that comes recommended. » (Feb. 2020)
